IGI Certified 14K Yellow Gold 2 Cttw Emerald-Cut Lab-Grown Diamond Wide Band Engagement Ring
IGI Certified. Emerald Cut. 2 Carats. 3.8mm Wide Band. Cathedral Shank. Lab-Grown.
The emerald cut is a step cut: rectangular facets arranged in parallel rows that return light in broad, mirror-like reflections rather than the scattered sparkle of a brilliant cut. Where a round brilliant maximises light return through 57 or 58 precisely angled facets, the emerald cut’s step facets create a deeper, more composed quality of light — clear planes of reflection, not scintillation. At 2 carats, the elongated rectangular shape of the emerald cut provides significant face-up size and a visual length that a round of equivalent carat weight does not have. The stone is oriented north-south on the finger, which further elongates the appearance of the hand.
The setting: a 4-prong basket with open gallery in 14K yellow gold, on a 3.8mm wide band with a cathedral shank. A cathedral shank arches the band upward on each side toward the setting, elevating the stone and providing structural support for the wider band. The 3.8mm width is substantial for a solitaire engagement ring — wider than a standard solitaire band — giving the ring a more architectural, modern presence. F–G colour, VS1–VS2 clarity.
IGI (International Gemological Institute) certification: IGI is the leading certification body for lab-grown diamonds, with dedicated grading laboratories and established standards for grown stones. Each certified stone is independently graded for cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight. Lab-grown diamonds are chemically and optically identical to earth-mined; IGI certification confirms the grade, not the origin. Available in sizes 5.5 through 7.
